The vagus nerve system acts to counterbalance the fight or flight system and can trigger a relaxation response in our body. A high vagal tone is associated with lower blood pressure, improved blood-sugar regulation, improved digestion, better mood, reduced anxiety, and reduced risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Perhaps one of the largest benefits of a higher vagal tone is the ability to relax faster after stress.

Focusing on connecting with our heart, through breath work, body scans and a guided meditation. Expect to feel deeply, and discover what truly makes your heart glow.

Ok so I LOVE THIS CLASS! Activate those deep core muscles and work on your co-ordination.

Use this on its own, at the end of an asana class or in between some tricky emails. Lie back, listen and surrender.

Feel a bit 'all over the place', feeling burnt out, feel like you haven't been prioritising yourself...or maybe all three! Sit down for just 15mins with me and breathe.

Not necessarily relaxing but a great breathwork techniques to help when you're feeling a bit sluggish.

Filmed on Lake Atitlan, Guatemala; this couldn't be a more calming location for this meditation. Repeat after me, YOU ARE AMAZING!

These are my go to stretches when I'm feeling a bit 'meh'. Hope they bring you a sense of calm, like they do me.
